this is the 21st annual "bike to work" day in the bay area and for the second straight year bart is allowing bicycles on its trains for the day. also, the morning bart's board of directors is expected to approve additional bike lockers and parking at some stations. on this "bike to work" day we are tracking one our colleagues as he bikes from marin to our kpix 5 studio in san francisco. on the waterfront a live look at our operations manager don sharp. pedaling along as he moves in from marin going across the golden gate. i can hear him puffing and huffing. he is laughing about it! looks pretty good. >> just working it, don. >> he is in great shape. they have a bike rack installed in our downstairs facebook. >> there's no bikes there yet!

report cards from the doctor, too,. >> reporter: bike lanes you may have noticed around the bay area are becoming more prevalent and that's good because new riders get scared or discouraged when riding outside of a bike lane. you can find out a lot more about biking around the bay area specifically on our website, cbssf.com/bike. also find out where you can find these energizer stations around the bay area because they are set up not only this morning but also for the evening commute. live at the golden gate bridge, anne makevoc, kpix 5. >> let's check in with elizabeth now with a traffic alert. >> we have one now in sonoma county and i want to show you a tweet that we just spotted. this is from "kcbs traffic." they are shutting down the westbound lanes now. this car fire, there was word of explosions in that area, the car actually exploding. that's what chp told us.

it also sparked a small grass fire in the area so it's in the westbound lanes of 37 at lakeville road. it is fully engulfed. right now they are holding traffic right there by sonoma raceway. so eastbound looks okay. but again, it's a hot spot to avoid right now. they are holding cars. bart has an issue going on. there are downtown oakland delays pretty much in all directions. they sayer in recovery mode. there was an earlier equipment problem on the tracks. that usually means things are going in the right direction. they are going to get better here shortly but they are still saying five- to ten-minute delays in all directions out of downtown. the rest of mass transit is on time. i mentioned that earlier fender- bender. it was westbound 580 approaching north flynn. it's still there. it's in the final clearing stages. we know they are calling out for tow crews now. even if it's on the shoulder it's still a visual hazard. you can see delays from the 205/580 split. past north flynn sluggish to

vasco, then great between hacienda and the dublin interchange. 880 looking good. southbound roadwork approaching 238 should be gone. roberta, i had to use my windshield wiperses today. >> i did, too. i had a little renegade shower in advance of the low pressure offshore that moved into the bay area and we had a couple of scattered showers. any weather watchers up and going? 57 degrees, that would be steve in los altos. he is reporting some mostly cloudy skies. we'll check back with our weather watchers for the possibility of rain showers. this is our live hi-def doppler. can you see the precipitation to the south of the san francisco area? that's where we'll get heavy rainfall. we have a possibility of an isolated thunderstorm

throughout the afternoon. partly cloudy skies at mineta international airport. 58 mild out the door in oakland. the core is still way back here. and it's going to lift you and then you have the circulation of the precipitation around that low lifting up into the bay area. the rain will move out of here early on friday. and then we have another area of low pressure to the north of us enhancing our marine layer through the weekend. let's walk you through our futurecast. here's that band of showers offshore. it wants to move in through the lunch hour. carry an umbrella to be safe. any kind of precipitation totals would generally be from san francisco to the south. so this is not even a north bay event at all. although you could see up to perhaps about .1" in santa rosa over the next 24 hours. maybe a half inch throughout the santa cruz mountains. rain chances in throughout the state capital. we have a winter storm watch in effect for the western slopes of the high sierra above 6,000 feet.

6" of snow expected. totals today just shy of 70. looks like we'll clear out by friday and a dry weekend chance of rain monday. as you make vacation plans keep in mind if your airline mistakenly posts a cheap flight they aren't on the hook for an error anymore. the department of transportation recently announced that airlines no longer have to honor mistaken fares. airlines do have to cover any extra out of pocket costs incurred by a ticket purchaser. it is 5:20 right now. the bay area's biggest city takes a stand to make rents more affordable. >> and i'm dennis o'donnell at oracle. coming up, the warriors dug a mighty big hole. could they

resembled a chess match in some ways between the two head coaches and the winner last night would put the opposing coach in check. memphis was without their key pawn tony allen with an injured hamstrung. marcus from midrange 11-point lead in the 1st quarter. but the warriors closed the first on a 16-two-run thanks to that man, steph curry giving the warriors their first lead as time expires. 3rd quarter, harris son barnes from downtown. he had 14. warriors up 9 in the third. they made 14 three-point shots. klay thompson threw it up to the aussie to make it 11 point advantage. they led by as many as 24 and they win 98-78. now it's back to memphis for game 6 on friday. baseball, astros executive nolan ryan hoping they could avoid the short two-game sweep against the giants. it was tied at 3 in the 8th

inning until affeldt with a solo shot. houston beats the giants 4-3. sonny gray the definition of a hard luck loser against boston. he allowed one run in seven innings but the a's offense 0 for 14 with runners in scoring position against the red sox pitching. they lose 2-0 and they drop two of three in that series. that game was played yesterday prior to the warriors victory last night. we'll say good-bye on this note. 82% of the teams who take a 3-2 series lead win the series. that's not a good omen for memphis or the words of elvis, it's now or never. >> thank you. play of the day, we have some baseball. marlins and dodgers and some great defense here. miami with a diving catch. right fielder at dodger stadium coming in. looks like he slipped but boy, there it is. great catch. miami beat the dodgers in l.a.

however, have amended it so it won't cost anything. they got rid of the portion that would have required schools to notify parents of vaccination rates. now, this allows the bill to skip the appropriations committee altogether saving time and fast-tracking it through. if it ultimately becomes law, california would be the third state in the country to eliminate the "personal belief" exemptions for vaccines. >> as parents we have the right to choose what's best for our children no matter what it is. >> we'll see. will it protect the number of children that we need? will this big raise just the -- the conversation, the dialogue in the state of california, will it raise awareness about the importance of vaccinations so that parents start thinking again who are considering opting out, maybe this isn't a wise decision for my own child. >> 7-2, the bill passed. >> reporter: the senate reconvenes at 9 a.m. live in downtown san jose kiet do, kpix 5. >> opponents of a housing project in contra costa county hope the drought will dry up those plans. the proposed development would

set on a 440-acre site off 680 in san ramon the city already gave developers the green light to move forward but some neighbors hope mandatory water restrictions will stop the project. with 740 units, people would use a lot of water. lawyers with the sierra club will send letters about the drought concerns to the army corps of engineers and the water board. palo alto is establishing new water restrictions. the city has a goal of cutting water use by 24% compared to 2013. to achieve that it is limiting outdoor watering to no more than two days a week for homes and businesses. and watering is banned from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. the city will have to report its water use to the state and could face fines if it misses the target. if you are just climbing out of bed, we have a little bit of rain in the bay area right now. i'm looking at the hi-def doppler radar. that's the core of the center

of the area of low pressure. most of the time they get these storms and they are to the north of us and sag to the south. this one is due west and to the south. most rain will be in the santa cruz mouths and south to the monterey bay area. it is lifting north. any kind of rainfall totals would be from san francisco to the south. at this hour, 54 in san jose, mostly cloudy, winds under 10 miles per hour. the core is trying to lift northeast. all that precipitation is just circling counterclockwise around the core of the center. so we'll get a band of showers in here from time to time. for the most part temperatures in the 50s and 60s. with the daytime heating there is the possibility of an afternoon thunderstorm. we'll talk about that at 48 minutes after the hour. >> we'll go back out to our

traffic alert in sonoma county. westbound lanes of 37, i mentioned that one lane reopened. so they got the car fire under control and the grass fire contained. so they are no longer holding traffic at 121. they were holding cars by the sonoma raceway but now everything is open at least one lane but there's still some slight delays heading into the area. the rest of the bay area is still relatively quiet. bay bridge really within the last few minutes we started to see delays building in the far right cash lanes. the rest of the lanes look okay for now. no metering lights just yet. and here's a live look at the golden gate bridge. i have been watching the sidewalk looking for more bicycle riders. it is "bike to work" day. so right now, southbound traffic if you are on the span itself, everything still looks okay out of sausalito. investigators in philadelphia are trying to figure out why an amtrak train

that derailed was going more than twice the speed limit heading into a sharp curve. the engineer who was at the controls of the train has a bay area connection. brandon bostian was a contract engineer for caltrain in 2010 and 2011. ntsb says the train was going 106 miles per hour when it should have been only going 15 -- excuse me -- >> there's no way not world he should have been going that fast. >> we plan to interview the engineer at the first opportunity that we can. we want to go back and look at the operation of the train. >> speed limit was 50. crews are now using heavy machinery to remove all the wreckage there. police in philly say bostonians -- bostian refused to give a statement and left a precinct office with his attorney. this morning, the thieves who smashed their way into a bay area bloomingdale's are still on the loose. it happened yesterday before dawn. they used a stolen jeep to crash through a glass door then used a hammer to shatter
